Love the Aunt May cover!:But I'm going to have to track down the X-Men ish, - I really need to read that story!Kid, would you do me a favour and type out the URL for your Under the Hammer clip? For some reason, the link on THE KID'S A TV won't play or go over for me!Cheers, mate.

The vid still wouldn't play, so I went on your YouTube and I was scrolling down to have another look at your toys, when I passed some DALEKS, so I just had to click on. Of course, you know what I found - the Century 21 record of the Dalek/Mechanoid battle! Well, as soon as I saw that Mechanoid say, "Enter." I was transported back in time almost half a Century! It was a lovely sunny summer's evening and I was munching on Walker's cheese & onion crisps and a packet of pork scratchings from the corner shop, whilst I was watching this at my Granny's house. At home time, as it was such a lovely evening, my Mother pestered my Dad to take us for a nice drive, rather than going straight home and we stopped at a canal side pub, called the Bell in a picturesque village and my Dad brought a tray of drinks out to the car park. I had a bottle of vimto and another packet of cheese & onion.All this from a simple click on YouTube.I thought it warranted documenting.

Indeed it dies, JP. I can almost smell that cheese & onion. I remember being in a pub (having a soft drink) next to a canal (not far from Glasgow) a few years ago, and it was extremely picturesque, with barges and everything.

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artiston various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artistandspot illustratoron pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

ForMARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as arestoration artistfor MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.
